The winter months can be a difficult time. Shorter days and the demands of the holiday season can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. One way you can approach this is by creating a plan to commit to a healthy lifestyle: 1. Exercise Daily. Do whatever movement that makes you happy, its even better with a friend. 2. Eat Light, Eat Fresh. incorporating high-quality foods into your meals such as vegetables, fruits, and other foods that are unprocessed and grow naturally. 3. Cultivate Your Brain’s Gratitude. When you wake up each morning, try starting the day off by listing three things you’re grateful for and follow this by picturing what you want to see happen next in your life. 4. Practice Stress Management. Try a yoga or meditation class. Schedule a massage or spa day.
